Wonderfully written thank you. ...'EXHALE!' Wonderfully written thank you. It's amazing how often I find I'm not really deep breathing. My breaths seem shallow so shallow its just barely enough to stay conscious. So I've master meditation, or at least one aspect we all can do and that's to breath. How sweet it is!

We dis-assemble all my stressors and get down to the "ground zero" which is always me and my character defects. Sets me back square one in the program and relieves all those feelings. I rely on the program, it works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958057397876971565.post-14883154882769101232012-11-01T09:35:02.479-04:002012-11-01T09:35:02.479-04:00Sounds like you already intuitively recognise when...Sounds like you already intuitively recognise when you are sinking and have a lovely array of antidotes to help yourself though to feeling better without abuse of any sort - so you actually have the solution already - Possibly the only missing part is to accept that it's perfectly natural to go up and down :) without one can we fully appreciate the other?? - thankyou you have helped me today :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958057397876971565.post-41954417132373207982012-05-09T06:18:52.298-04:002012-05-09T06:18:52.298-04:00You are discovering the best reason for blogging.....You are discovering the best reason for blogging..you can write these thoughts/feelings out as they are happening.

I am really interested in things like this these days: getting just what we need when we need it and not needing what we think we needed or had to have.
